WHY would you merge the B quarter-note with the B eighth-note? They are
not even in the same time-step.
Then perhaps once again, I'm misreading what I'm transcribing... Wouldn't be
the first time... Here's what I'm trying to reproduce:
I think that's a misprint in the source, and the upstem should have a flag. I
presume that below there are two sets of words with different numbers of
syllables which require different grouping of the notes.
